Joseph F. Rummel, S. T. D., Bishop Auxiliary of Lafayette Archbishop of New Orleans May 19, 1959 St. Louis Cathedral - New Orleans lilt is the Duty of a Bishop to judge, interpret, consecrate, ordain, offer, baptize and confirm. " (Introductory note to the Ceremony of Consecration of a priest to the Episcopate. ) As the Ordinary of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, it is my duty and privilege to extend an expression of profound gratitude to His Excellency Most Reverend Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, newly appointed Apostolic Delegate to the United States, who has so graciously consented to honor our Archdiocese as well as one of our outstanding priests by officiating as principal Consecrator at the latter1s episcopal consecration. To these sentiments of appreciation~ expressed in the name of the clergy, the religious and the laity of the Archdiocese, we add our warme st felicitations upon His Excellency1s appointment to the exalted office of representative of the Holy See in the United States, giving him the pledge of our sincerest reverence and cooperation, supported by our fervent prayers for a happy and propitious so-journ amongst us. ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS -2­ ARCHBISHO P 'S RS51D E N C B 2809 SOU~R CA .... OLLTON AVENUB NBW ORLEAN. 18. LOUISIANA May we also extend a cordial greeting to the Most Reverend members of the hierarchy, the Right Reverend Abbots and the Right Reverend, Very Reverend and Reverend members of the Clergy who are gracing this auspicious occasion by their pre sence. To the representatives of our civil authorities of our State and of our City we also extend a hearty greeting and genuine welcome. Felicitations as well as sincere greetings are offered to the relatives of Bishop Tracy, especially Sister Mary Roberta of the Sisters of Mercy, and to his many personal friends. We pray that all here present may experience great joy as well as edification in the solemn function of Consecration and that our united prayers may bring to His Excellency the fullest abundance of divine grace for a long and fruitful life in the apostolic ministry. Based upon the relationship between Christ and the Apostles, as outlined in the writings of the Evangelists and other inspired authors of the New Testament, the doctrine of the Church regarding the episcopal office presents a tradition which is ancient, constant and profoundly impressive. The dignity and responsibility of this office are manifold and of suoh vital importance that they affect the very existence, vitality and progress of the Church. With that remarkable ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS ARCHBISHOP'S RR SlDBNCB 2809 SOUTH CA"P.OLLTON AVENUB Nsw ORL8AN8 18 . LOUISIANA -3­ wisdom, which is characteristic of her liturgy, the Church has woven into the ceremony of Episcopal Consecration a mosaic composition of the dignity, functions and responsibilities which make this ceremony eminently beautiful, spiritually sublime and extremely rich in doctrinal significance. In an introductory ceremony the Church manifests her solicitude about the personal character of the candidate and his qualifications for his responsibility as spiritual leader and teacher of religious and moral truth. Herein Holy Church emphasizes not only the fact that teaching the flock of Christ is an integral part of the apostolic ministry with which the Bishop is entrusted, but she also gives evidence of her solicitude concerning the firmness of the Bishopts faith, his ability to teach and demonstrate it by his example, with emphasis upon his loyalty to the successor of the Vicar of Christ in the person of the reigning Pontiff and his successors in office. Integrated with the solemnity of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the liturgy of Episcopal Consecration reveals and develope s the sublime dignity and the awe-inspiring responsibility which constitute the Bishop a living custodian and exponent of the sacred ministry which Christ had bestowed upon His Apostles.

LOUISIANA -4­ Before the chanting of the Gospel of the Mass the choir invites the presence of the heavenly court and invokes the intercession of the angels and saints of God for divine assistance which the Con­ secrating Prelate concludes with the plea that God may vouchsafe to "bles S;p and sanctify and consecrate this elect here present" as thrice he makes over him in benediction the sign of the Crosso Immediately after the chanting of the Litany, the Consecrating Prelate, with the assistance of the Co-Consecrators, places the open Book of the Gospels upon the neck and shoulders of the Bishop- Elect, so that the text touches his body; then the three Prelates beginning with the Consecrator impose their hands successively upon the head of the Bishop-Elect, reciting individually the solemn form: "Receive the Holy Spirit"o This vital ceremony, combined with the Preface of Consecration which the Co-Consecrators recite while the Consecrator chants it solemnly, constitutes the essential m atter and form of Episcopal Consecration. As in her liturgy the Church is ever mindful of the need and value of the intercessory power of the heavenly courts, so she never fails in her greatest functions to implore the light, guidance and strength ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS ARCHBISHOP'S R'8S1DENCH 2809 SOUHI CARROLLTON AVENUE ~5~ Nnw ORLEANS 18.

Through these beautiful symbolisms, directed by the prayers of the liturgy and the intentions of the Consecrating Prelates, the very being of the Bishop is elevated to the full stature of the apostolic dignity, including the power to rule, the authority to teach and the exercise of the ministry of sanctificationo ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS ARCHBISHOP'S RestDENCB 2809 SOUTH CARROLLTON AVENUE NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA -7­ In the tenns of the liturgy lilt is the duty of a to and clearly indicates con- He ssed to the I say to you" whatever you bind on bound also in heaven; and whatever you loose on in II This power to govern that concern the the moral and the social member 8 of the Mystical Body of Christ; it is a power derived the responsibility of ac the mediation of the Church alone.. - Wisdom, and justice must shine forth in its administration) and From his Conse comes entrusted with the mandate and duty to all and for all time: "All power in and to me.

It is of vital importance in these our times, when there prevails throughout the world so much confusion in philosophic thinking as applied to the very existence of God, the character and mission of Christ, the origin, nature and destiny of man and a multitude of moral respon­ sibilitieso Firmly, consistently and constantly has the Church through the vigilance of the successive Vicars of Christ, inspired her Bishops with the cooperation of a zealous clergy to carryon this ministry of teaching, often under the stress of sacrifice.

  • Presidential Address (The Right Reverend a J Dain, OBE)
    Presidential Address By The Right Reverend A J Dain, OBE, Administrator "Meeting the Demands of the Hour" Brethren of the Clergy and Lay Members of Synod, I bid you all welcome to this special session of Synod when you will have the privilege and the responsibility of electing a Bishop for the See of Sydney. This is an onerous task for which I trust you will have prepared by seeking the help and guidance of Almighty God through constant prayer. We meet, I trust, with our own personal views and convictions but without any trace of partisanship and with deep humility, recognising our supreme need of that wisdom that comes alone from above. The process of synodical government which we all treasure involves the practice of disciplined debate. If we have come here today to share in a spiritual exercise that will lead us corporately to an understanding of the mind and will of God, then we must have open minds to respond to every constraint and restraint of the Holy Spirit. Only thus shall we ultimately arrive at the place where, like the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, we can say with conviction, "It has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us." (Acts 15:28.) Tribute My first task in this address must be to pay a further tribute to Archbishop Sir Marcus Loane, who, for over 15 years, has graced with distinction, the office we are about to fill. People, far more gifted than myself, have rightly paid tribute to Sir Marcus and Lady Loane over recent weeks and months.

  • Religious Leaders Ask Legislature to Act on Covid-19
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 7, 2020 CONTACT: The Rev. Kerri Parker, Executive Director, Wisconsin Council of Churches 608-837-3108 x 25; [email protected] RELIGIOUS LEADERS ASK LEGISLATURE TO ACT ON COVID-19 (STATEWIDE) - Concerned about the lack of an effective statewide response to COVID-19, Wisconsin religious leaders sent a letter today calling on the state legislature to work across political divisions to protect the people of Wisconsin. The letter was addressed to Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and signed by members of the Wisconsin Council of Churches, including 34 bishops, executive leaders and pastors from Lutheran, United Methodist, United Church of Christ, Presbyterian, Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal, Orthodox and other Christian traditions. “We write to you with grave concerns for the health and well-being of the residents of our state, and appeal to you to take immediate action,” the letter begins. “Over time, we have watched caution and prudent decision-making informed by medical science and love for neighbor be overridden by politicization, pressure, and problematic behavior around the state,” it continues. Noting the recent alarming increase in COVID-19 cases, the religious leaders say that “the lack of a coordinated statewide response to COVID has left clergy and churches in an untenable position.” After statewide emergency orders were struck down in Legislature v Palm, some local jurisdictions issued their own safer-at-home instructions and other emergency orders. Many of these have been rescinded over fear of litigation, while others are being challenged in court. Under these conditions, public health experts are not in a position to issue clear guidance.

  • A Statement by Religious Leaders in Iowa on Global Climate Change April 2017
    A Statement by Religious Leaders in Iowa on Global Climate Change April 2017 As religious leaders representing diverse faith traditions in Iowa, we believe that global climate change is one of the most pressing moral challenges facing our world today. On this Earth Day, we feel an obligation to speak on behalf of the most vulnerable in our society and to act in love for our neighbors both locally and globally. The relationship between Earth and all of its inhabitants is beautiful and complex. When one part of that relationship is threatened, ultimately it is all threatened. According to 97 percent of the world’s actively publishing climate scientists, carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is a major driver of global climate change that threatens the health of our families, the well-being of our communities, and ultimately almost all life on Earth.1 Current impacts include severe storms, deadly heat waves, drought, flooding, and wildfires. According to scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), global surface temperature in 2016 was the warmest since official records began in 1880. It was the third year in a row to set a new heat record, and the fifth time the record has been broken since the start of the 21st century.2 The current rate of global climate change is unprecedented in human history and has few if any precedents in the history of Earth.3 We urge people of faith to acknowledge these scientific findings and to take seriously their ethical implications. Carbon pollution is an environmental justice issue.

  • Right Reverend Stephen Elliott: Political Influence and The
    THE RIGHT REVEREND STEPHEN ELLIOTT: POLITICAL INFLUENCE AND THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH 1841-1866 by PAULETTE THOMPSON (Under the Direction of Anastatia Sims) ABSTRACT By the 1840s, the South’s religious and political convictions upheld slaveholders’ social and economic views. These convictions permeated worship services in Georgia via the ministries. At the onset of the Civil War, spirituality provided an essential source of Southern strength in both victory and defeat. As fortitude subsided, religion also played a prodigious role in perpetuating the Confederate experience. For a generation, its theology had endorsed the South’s social arrangement, asserted the morality of slavery, expunged Southern sins, and recruited the populace as God’s devout guardians of the institution. Sustained by the belief that they were God’s chosen people, Southerners rallied to the Confederate cause. Asserting great influence as the presiding Episcopal Bishop of the Confederacy, the Right Reverend Steven Elliott, Jr., aggressively participated in contriving a religious culture that discerned threats to Southern society as challenges to Christian civilization.

  • The Right Reverend Glenda S. Curry
    The Right Reverend Glenda S. Curry As the Twelfth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama CONCERNING THE SERVICE Today, with this liturgy, we begin a new season of ministry in the Diocese of Alabama with the investi- ture of our Twelfth Bishop. We gather together in an unprecedented way in an extraordinary time in history. Limited by the circumstances of the global pandemic, we assemble virtually as a diocesan family in joy and hope, represented in person by our leadership, to give thanks for our history of faith and offer ourselves to the love and service of Jesus Christ. The liturgy reminds us who we are and of our relation- ship with one another, and then, strengthened by the Word and Sacrament, sends us out into the world to make the love of Jesus Christ real and visible in the world. The service is a Eucharistic celebration of the new ministry of our Diocese and our new Diocesan Bishop. There are six liturgical elements unique to the Investiture of a Bishop that deserve a brief expla- nation. The first is Recognition, in which Bishop Curry will ceremonially enter the West Doors of the Cathedral and seek recognition from the presiding Bishop (Bishop Sloan), and confirm the will of God’s people. Next, Bishop Curry will reaffirm the promises made when first consecrated as a bishop of the Church. Third, is the Investiture, when she will be invested with “all the temporal and spiritual rights and responsibilities” of the office and her role as Chief Priest and Pastor. The fourth moment is the entrusting of the Diocesan Crosier to the new Diocesan Bishop, as the Eleventh Bishop of Alabama gives the pastoral staff used by every bishop of Alabama since 1900, to the Twelfth Bishop.
